The
Arena collection begins the year 2008 by exalting the Genta style:
favourite colours, original materials, daring design and top-flight
complications, all interpreted in highly refined variations.
The two 2008 versions of the Arena QP GMT feature a titanium case
topped with a platinum bezel.
Light metal and heavy metal form a contrasting matt and brilliant
composition that is particularly pleasant to wear.
The signature red and black Gérald Genta colours are highlighted
on the alligator leather straps and dials designed in a mechanical
spirit clearly inspired by the automobile world.
The construction of the multi-layer dial is particularly sophisticated,
featuring a perforated base that provides glimpses of the "Potter"-finished
movement.
The distinction between the GMT and perpetual calendar displays
is accentuated by the use of colours.
Harmony reigns through the dagger-shaped hands used for the local
hours and minutes as well as for the dual time zone and date.
The 2, 4, 8 and 10 numerals are applied and polished, as are the
rims of the day and month counters, echoing the shiny brilliance
of the bezel.
